Dear friends,
I have upgraded from beta2 to beta3 today and I have the impression that I am
meeting problems: a document I was able to compile with beta3 gives strange
errors.
Before bothering you with these errors and me by preparing a small example, I
would like to try to compile my document with beta2. Can I downgrade? Is beta2
compatible with the document format of beta3? The preferences are compatible
too (but this is not a problem because I have zipped my old preferences folder
before installing beta3)?
The beta3 file format is different from the beta2 format. So you'd have
to use lyx2lyx to convert any file you saved with beta3. This is less
complicated than it sounds. Save the lyx2lyx directory from the beta3
version before you uninstall it. Then after you reinstall beta2, copy
that directory into place. It's just python so text files, so this will
work. I think. Worst case, you can run lyx2lyx from the command line to
do the conversion.
